API Key + Basic Auth

API key authentication is the simplest form of app-based security that you can configure for an API. A client app presents an API key in the request header, the API manager then checks to see that the API key is in an approved state for the resource being requested. Internally, your proxies use policies to verify API key authenticity.

• When a consumer registers an app for any API product in Apigee developer portal, a client ID and client secret are created
• Client Id is treated as API Key and used to authenticate the consumer for subsequent API calls.

Basic authentication is a simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol. To use it, send your HTTP requests with an Authorization header that contains the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username:password.
